Noise reduction & efficiency in one revolutionary propeller

Welcome to a new generation of propellers—on-demand and custom designed for any application

Our Mission

To propel the aviation transformation 

The future is exciting and it’s headed here quickly. ​ Vertical takeoff and landing ​in urban areas is driving the largest​ shift ever seen in aviation—back to propellers.​ As demand for propeller-driven flight soars, the world needs more than off-the-shelf choices. Athule Aero has invented a quieter propeller that also increases energy efficiency and can be customized for any platform in any operating condition.

How?

By virtually eliminating propeller tip vortices​, our propellers reduce induced drag, leading to lower power consumption and up to 75% noise reduction. Plus, the Athule Double Break™ propeller design is compatible with existing propeller manufacturing.

This revolutionary, patented propeller design cuts noise and boosts efficiency at the same time: An elusive goal in aviation. Until now.

Our story

Our  origin and our leadership

A ten-year partnership between two U.S. Air Force veterans—engineer Chuck Wisniewski, PhD, and pilot Ken van Treuren, PhD, who later worked at top-tier research universities—unlocked the full potential of the Athule Double Break™ propeller. Today, our team has expanded to more than a dozen engineers, software developers, and researchers, all led by four seasoned executives.
